Osteosarcoma associated with cemento-osseous dysplasia: co-incidence or two related entities?

Background: Osteosarcoma of the jaws is a rare primary malignant tumor of bone. The clinical, radiological and histopathological features of a case associated with cemento-osseous dysplasia is presented.

Case Report: A 57-year-old mixed-race female presented with a large, progressive, swelling of the right mandible.

Clinical indications for radical resection of odontogenic keratocyst: A systematic review.

The aim of this study was to identify clinico pathological indications for radical resection of odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) in the literature and formulate clinical guidelines for the management of OKCs based on these findings. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken in September 2021 in PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Cochrane databases. The following MeSH Keywords terms were used in the search strategies: (odontogenic keratocyst) OR (keratocystic odontogenic tumor) OR (primordial cyst) AND (treatment) OR (Radical resection) OR (Resection of OKC) OR (Treatment methods).

Application of 5-Fluorouracil in management of glandular odontogenic cyst.

Glandular odontogenic cyst (GOC) is a rare, aggressive odontogenic lesion that presents in the jaws. It is a diagnostically challenging entity due to its ability to mimic intraosseous mucoepidermoid carcinoma, botryoid cyst, surgical ciliated cyst, and radicular cyst. Treatment ranges from conservative to aggressive surgical interventions due to its varied clinical and radiological appearance and also its potential for recurrence.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma: A rare diagnostically challenging entity.

Mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) arising in pleomorphic adenoma (PA) is an extremely rare entity. Involvement of minor salivary glands by this entity has only being described twice previously. We report on a diagnostically challenging case in an 18 year old male with a large mass in the junction of the hard and soft palates that has been present for 12 months.

Unicystic ameloblastoma: analysis of surgical management and recurrence risk factors.

Unicystic ameloblastoma is a distinct pathological variant with varying evidence published about its behaviour and surgical management. Due to a paucity of large studies in the literature with long-term follow up, the aim of this study was to analyse its surgical management and identify clinicopathological features associated with recurrences. All histopathologically confirmed lesions diagnosed at two referral centres between 1995 and 2020 were retrospectively analysed.
